During Q1/2018 the Jelurida Marketing approach has made a gradual transition from the ICO with many heroic efforts led by developers to an organization with a professional marketing plan. While this transition has been time-consuming and is still ongoing, we are laying the foundation for a long-term functional and sustainable Marketing structure. We have accomplished so much already and will continue to with many more developments during the upcoming quarters.

Team

The Jelurida marketing team now consists of 3 new full-time employees:

Veronica Torras - Head of Marketing and Business Development.

Veronica is responsible for the overall marketing strategy and sales process, and the coordination of the marketing team.

Adedayo Adebajo - Community Manager.

Adedayo joined us on a trial period in January as a Support Specialist and has now consolidated this position within the company with other key responsibilities pertaining to Community Management and Exchange Relations.

Our primary goal this quarter has been to build a sustainable and efficient team process to post consistently about our four brands. We have a multi-brand portfolio, and have built a social media strategy according to this. Although we know that there is a lot to do, we are enthusiastic about reaching this milestone of going from no structured nor consistent content to consistent daily activity in all our main social media and community channels.

Here is a quick summary of what has been achieved:

- Built the social media strategy and tactics for a total of 16 accounts covering four brands (Ardor, Ignis, Nxt, and Jelurida) on the major social media channels which include Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Telegram.

- Content review and analysis of Lior's existing Medium blog posts. We will re-publish them over the coming weeks and months.

Conferences[/size]

Jelurida has increased its presence in local and international events. Both Jelurida and the Ardor Nxt Group (ANG) directed by Elizabeth Mong have started attending tech and blockchain conferences more on a regular basis.

Some of our Q1 activity:

- Jelurida was a finalist at the 4YFN Awards and the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. From February 27-28, the team attended the largest mobile tech conference in the world in Barcelona for the whole week and was regarded as one of the highlights of the event.

- We organized and sponsored the blockchain expert panel at the MWC Edition of the Barcelona Blockchain for Business Group. The discussion covered the future of Blockchain for Business and had over 180 attendees.

- Lior joined many other innovative thought leaders at the Center for Research-Based Innovation (@sfimechatronics) Autonomy Conference, in Kristiansand, Norway on March 20~22. He delivered the first ever official Ardor Developers Hackathon: https://buff.ly/2HekhM7
